At the opening and presentation evening held in the Salisbury library the club were well represented by several of our members who came along in order to view the superb display of prints and slides from 39 different clubs within the federation.

The federation president Ian Bigg opened the evening by welcoming in excess of 100 guests saying that this was the 35^th annual exhibition and that he believed the high standard of previous exhibitions had been equalled this year.  

Ian invited everyone to help themselves to a glass of wine, soft drinks and nibbles and handed the meeting over to the temporary exhibition organiser George Walsh.

George thanked several people for their help with collecting, hanging, judging and a host of other tasks and then went on with the presentation of the various awards.

Viewfinders picked up two awards :-

PRINTS.   Herbert Dennis Trophy - Best colour print.

This certificate was picked up by our chairman Stan Stubbs on behalf of Bob.

SLIDES   SPF Shield – Best club entry of slides.  

2^nd place. – Viewfinders of Romsey CC.

This certificate was presented to Terry Jamieson the clubs external competitions secretary.   Commentating after the awards ceremony Stan Stubbs said how pleased he was for Bob Eaton. Getting an award when the standard is so high is a great achievement.

Stan was particularly pleased with the slide entry splitting such renowned clubs as Southampton and Winchester and only just being pipped for first place was just outstanding.
